Kingdom of Five 1508 Nation Roleplay: Build, Build. Build. Don’t really have drive to write this one, depressive fit? Population: 6,578,065 Fivians Gold Expenditure: 64,900 Gold - 5,000 Upkeep = 59,900 Gold + 7,100 Gold = 67k Gold (15,000 Gold) 3 more farms are built to sustain growth. (8,000 Gold) 2 Caravels are built. (37,500 Gold) 5 Manufactories are constructed in the Kingdom. (6,000 Gold) 1,500 T2 Light Infantry are recruited and sent off to the frontier lands. (500 Gold is saved.)

Kingdom of Five 1508 Nation Roleplay: The thuds of wood being struck woke the prince from his nap, caravaneers had been fixing his wagon and begun to hammer away at one of the wheels. Upon hearing their lordship stirring, Dakkar could hear them whispering quickly and soon the wagon fell slightly and began to move again. Stretching his legs, Dakkar peeked out and glared at the few peasants running away in the distance. A slack of leather caught his attention, the royal guard driving the wagon began to speak. “Sorry your highness, the wagon wheel came off in the mud.” Grumbling to the soldiers right sat a much larger one reading a book occasionally looking around. Clambering out he stood between the two and looked towards the front of the column then the rear, thousands of Fivians on the march to make a new home. (Sorry Alex, don’t have much to write about this year.) Population: 6,147,724 Fivians Gold Expenditure: 56,600 Gold - 5,000 Upkeep + 500 = 48,500 Gold! (10,000 Gold) 2 mandatory farms to maintain current speed! (10,000 Gold) Constructing a single merchant guild district in the most recent city, they invite many of the folk there in to learn the tools of trade. (3k + per year!) (15,000 Gold) Gloriously constructed by the end of the year, the Royal port of Five is completed in the capital allowing an unprecedented growth to both trade, food, and exploration. (2000+ From trade I guess!?) (10,000 Gold) The Kingdom grows more this year as well, 2 more settlements are sent southward with a retinue of men to help their travels. (7,100 Gold saved.)

Kingdom of Five 1507 Nation Roleplay: Storyboarding! Population: 5,745,537 Fivians Gold Expenditure: 48,500 Gold - 3,000 Upkeep = 45,500 (10,000 Gold) 2 mandatory farms to maintain current speed! (25,000 Gold) 2,000 Light Archers are recruited alongside another 2,000 Medium infantry. In tandem, each city is expected to carry a garrison well over a thousand and to provide these garrisons begins a town guard which starts this year with 2,500 Light Infantry equipped with shitty iron and bronze. [Archers and Medium are tier 2] {2500 Light Infantry are T1} [Holy crap thats alot of upkeep!] Expansion for this year! (10,000 Gold) With expansions into the frontier not going well, new settlements are placed along the WOULD BE newly claimed land and with that guards from the newly recruited soldiers. To keep in within the NAP, navigators plot out the land claim carefully. (0 Gold) The Hierarchy is asked to stay out of the affairs of the Swinedom, King Leotard himself stating that these are actually temples set up to worship himself! (500 Gold Saved.)

Kingdom of Five 1506?? Nation Roleplay: Nothing happened this year, really just building. Population: 5,331,306 Fivians Gold Expenditure: 45,000 Gold - 3,000 Upkeep = 42,000 (Per Turn Income: 42,000) + 2k from last year. (40,000 Gold) 6 more farms this year… 21 Farms yeet yuh? (4% bonus!) (0 Gold) To curb the apparent aggression of the Meldan’s, Leotard sends out detachments of soldiers numbering 2,000 for the north and south expansion. (2,000 Gold) This year, King Leotard decrees that 2,000 surplus gold is now on the market and to obtain at least 1,000 of it a man must find a special resource within the land of five. (Prospecting in the Kingdom for special resources, 1k gold per prospector if they find the resource.)

Kingdom of Five 1504 Nation Roleplay: Nothing of note happens in the Five this year, food prices however are at an all-time low with more farms being built across the vast lands of the Kingdom. The recent development of the fourth city in the east has also brought great prosperity for the people there now on the frontier. Prince Dakkar continues his training to become a Magi to the Fallen one, his studies and spirit becoming increasingly harder to comprehend and nail down. King Leotard however seems to be growing more benevolent as the time goes and people have began to disregard him as human altogether even more so now. Population: 5,113,962 Fivians Gold Expenditure: 45,000 Gold - 3,000 Upkeep = 42,000 (Per Turn Income: 42,000) (15,000 Gold) A recently developed town is transformed into the fourth city of the nation, festivals and all are held in celebration. (Hey look extra buildings!) (5,000 Gold) Once again the time has come for expansion with much of it focused on going north-east to abide by the agreements of the Hakkan non-aggression pact. Much of this is spearheaded by 2,000 medium infantrymen clearing the path for a large group of expeditioneers. (1+ Settlement.) (20,000 Gold) 4 more farms this year! That takes me up to 13 farms granting me an extra 2%! (2,000 Gold is saved to the treasury.)

Kingdom of Five 1504 Nation Roleplay: The Prince seems to have been sent off on a journey out of country sparking much intrigue within the citizenry and upper echelons. Leotard ensures his people it is for the betterment of all and that his son will return within the next five years. Secretly the beginning of the Fallen court forms underground with large areas cut open and built up to establish an order built specifically for the illusion of godship for the king and his offspring. Protected and secured and with the prospect of actual powers becoming a reality, the excess money was given out to the people of the realm as gratitude. Not much else has happened other then the announcement of a Non-aggression pact with Hakkan, a once paranoid relationship cast aside by understanding. A golden age indeed. Population: 4,917,272 Fivians Gold Expenditure: 41,000 Gold - 3,000 Upkeep = 38,000 (Per Turn Income: 38,000) (10,000 Gold and then 10,000 Gold) The king grows paranoid and orders the construction of a small building for the growing cult following the fallen god. To complement this building of great magical importance, a place for the cult followers is built. Prince Dakkar takes great interest in this place of magic and study and devotes most of his time now to studying to become a masterful magi of its new order. [A place of worship is built in the capital, underground which is followed by a Tier 1 temple.] {5 Adepts and 1 Magi} (15,000 Gold) Another three farms are built to help prepare for the upcoming increase of population, work also begins on a order of government based directly on farming. (9 Farms now.) (3,000 Gold) Gold is granted to all major settlements specifically for the increase of quality of life.

Kingdom of Five Nation Roleplay: The Five had recovered gracefully from its corrupt fiasco of the year past, Leotard’s sweeping reform having been completed he looked to turn the army he recruited into a force to be reckoned with. Consultation with his son led to the manufactories being re-purposed for the year, 10,000 suits of iron armor and their accompanying weaponry had to be built and the people would do it. At the end of 1503 every soldier of the Five had been equipped in strong iron armor accompanied by their swords, shields, spears, and maces. Growth rates were down, even though food had been produced to keep up the previous two years it wasn't long before their capacity had once more been breached. Prince Dakkar himself set about building three more large farmstead counties nearby the newly settled land with the help of the defense forces stationed there. The newly built settlement nearby soon offered its hard working people to handle the fields and feed the rest of the kingdom, their quick to work attitude being rewarded by a visit from the “god” himself, Leotard Swine. King Swine’s yearly godlike performance this year was the ‘sprouting’ of wheat, a ploy he had not pulled off before and to his amazement the people still believed! 1503 had treated the Kingdom well overall, food was flowing and people felt safe, jobs could be found almost everywhere you walked and with an economy to match it was a great time to be alive. A modernist would say approval ratings for the Swine dynasty are up! Population: 4,774,050 Fivians Gold Expenditure: 41,500 Gold - 3,000 Upkeep + 1,500 last year = 40,000 (Per Turn Income: 35,500) (15,000 Gold) 3 more farms are constructed to feed the masses. (6 Farms granting 1% bonus.) (5,000 Gold) A growing nation means another settlement needs to be founded to the South east completing the border formed by its latest northern brother. (Escorted by another 1,000 men.) (20,000 Gold) Even though the military constructed the recent year was strong with its numbers, their equipment compared to their neighbors was the very definition of pitiful. King Leotard decrees all his men be equipped in Iron. [Upgrading all 10,000 soldiers with T2 equipment.] (0 Gold.) A diplomat is sent to Hakkan to parley!

Kingdom of Five Nation Roleplay: Incredible displays of corruption had become so apparent to Leotard that he began to squash them out using his ‘godlike’ powers to burn all those he had investigated over the year. The public display was spread around the Kingdom by word as many officials in the government began to lax some corrupt tendencies and assert their loyalty to the Kingdom by increasing the tithes of their soldiers. The recent arrival of such motley men had led to a restructuring of the Kingdom’s military, 1,000 men would be assigned to cover an assigned city or region of its land called Regional Regiments. During wars they would be selected by the King to form an Army group. Its logistical woes would be dealt with by the Prince who would take up most military matters for the year. Trade flow from outsiders brought many wares people had no luxury of before, the influx of jobs from the manufactories was also a welcome sight as people began to afford decent clothing and housing. It was a great time to be a denizen of the five, especially the stronger military men whom was the dream of any lady. Population: 4,635,000 Fivians Gold Expenditure: 41,500 Gold - 5,000 = 36,500 (Per Turn Income: 38,500) (30,000 Gold) King Leotard in his lavish squeal declares the formation of the Guards of Five, over 7,500 men are recruited from the streets and trained into fighting men. They soon receive equipment from the previously build Manufactoriums. (5,000 AP) The construction of the first settlement in decades to the East of the Kingdom, the people sent are accompanied by two regiments of men, 1,000. (1,500 Gold left for next year.)

Manifest Destiny Chapter I 2039 ===Nation Post=== Federated States of Ellada - All military construction goes as planned as the Industrial base of Greece still remains unharmed from the hellish nightmare at its borders. The battles are expected to continue in earnest this year. Republic of China - All construction for the years be it military or civilian goes well and continues and or finishes on schedule, the fighters engineers hope are not too much longer off. Much like Japan’s expo, Turkey appears and seeks to look at the technology that China is offering. They also seek to discuss a deal about the Jade Corps... DPRK - The military station now floats proudly in orbit with North Koreans running up and down the atmosphere. Alongside this the meager NK space fleet is completed giving them a whole new field of warfare to prepare for. Empire of Japan - The South Koreans politely decline the offer citing the power struggle already existing with their northern neighbor, they seek to remain neutral in the matter. Iwo Jima receives its fortifications with the old inhabitants there being reminded of the old glory days of World War 2, modern knowledge works upon the old with bunkers being placed with even more camouflage everywhere. The Australians decline having already placed a base of their own there coupled with a small flotilla of ships. Clamor for safer batteries leads scientist to draw up a theory of a Fusion battery, a cleaner and much more efficient version of the Fission one. It’s also much, much safer given the fact that it won’t leak or explode and give nearby users cancer within the first year. Few nations attend this year as peace has been proactively at the forefront of many nations, Turkey however does appear looking to bolster their forces with new technologies. Polish Republic - The successful finish of the the next generation combat vehicles, tanks and APCS received the most attention with armor being improved and fixed to reduce heat signatures, their speed being amped up with fission power plants. All military units are completed and so are their opponents as the Bulgarians and Lithuanians are seen enforcing their border with a plenitude of troops. The Bohemian State- The prospectors hired out by the government find a vein of naturally occurring Graphene. All military recruitment and construction is finished and put onto active duty. German Republic- All recruitment and construction is completed for this year, eagerly the German men deploy to their assignments adding much needed youth to the military. ((Phasic or plasma???)) USSR- The OSS Program continues in earnest and its progress goes well with military officials having it completely structured by the end of the year. Great effort eventually leads the Russians to establish a safely orbiting Hydroponics station filled to the brim with seeds and eager workers assigned on monthly rotations, seasons would never affect the plants here and year-long growth would be guaranteed. The Russian space fleet grows this year with the two corvettes being celebrated by the people as a new era of Russian progress. ===Events=== The Brazil-Latin war ends in a stalemate with the total casualties in military measuring at 67,000 men and its civilians at 235,000. A great waste of life with no gain, both nations send aid to each other. The ODI is seen developing a new class of warship after finishing construction of its new shipyard, the first destroyers and assault ships. These ships are soon to be some of the largest to ever be fielded by a corporation let alone nation, intelligence officials state they’re most likely preparing for something with the missile platforms being tested and reloaded daily. Anterior coalition forces announce the unveiling of wide-spread titanium armor with videos now circulating worldwide of tanks being hit by modern weaponry with previous penetrating rounds simply bouncing off their tanks.

Kingdom of Five Nation Roleplay: The people were heavily dissatisfied with the lack of food plaguing the kingdom, hundreds starved as they toiled in the meager farms that had been built years ago and certainly more were needed for such a growing population. A decree was put out and soon the funding for it, three large farms were built on the ruined farms and to the gleeful farmers they found richer soil. Towards the end of the year, the first crops were planted and many hoped to see their harvest make it to the next year. Eagerly the people crowded by the large guild districts being built in their cities, the minds of men working there was alluring and so was their teachings. These three guilds brought only benefits to the Kingdom with overall apprenticeships rising throughout it, it wasn’t long before many young men in the city began to idol these old craftsmen. A depressing amount of goods was produced annually by the Kingdom overall, many people had little income or jobs to work and without the ability to expand people began to bicker. Prince Dakkar personally used his funds to construct two manufactures within the capital inviting hundreds around to work in these two “industrial” centers. It was not long before over 1,243 lucky peasantry was hired to man the stations of the facilities, the pay was set at 1 gold an hour… an amazing amount. Traditionally, the King performs an act to assure his bloodline is still imbued with god like powers. This years performance lead Leotard to set a barn on fire with just the swipe of his hand killing two ‘criminals’ inside of it prompting his guard to clap and the locals to bow and cheer. Population: 4,500,000 Fivians Gold Expenditure: 60,000 Gold (Per Turn Income: 35,500 + 4,500) (10,500 Gold) 3 Farms are built to provide food to the growing Kingdom, they’re placed upon the fabled great farms enjoying their fertile soil. (1.5%+ Growth) (27,000 Gold) 3 Major Trade guilds are founded in each city of the Five, their expertise in the art of trade is a welcome change to the many dimwitted citizens of the town with bartering and a common currency forming shortly after. (9,000 + Gold per turn.) (15,000 Gold) The construction of two manufactures in the capital thanks to the prince’s investment. (2,000+ Income per turn.) (0 Gold) King Leotard gratefully accepts a trade agreement, shortly after maps from the mainland are sent to the Meldan in agreement to their offer. (7,500 Gold is put away in the treasury as a bonus this year.)

Nation Name: The Kingdom of Five BRIEF History: A simple serf after successfully pulling off a ploy during the old age of empires gained a following of families after he framed being a god during a thunder storm. During the collapse, he led five surviving families westward on a two year journey and along the way he enforced his “god-like” abilities through magic tricks he learned as a farmers hand. Upon arrival at the west coast the young man proclaimed the beginning of a Kingdom under his protection, he was crowned King Baldiff Swine and named his land the Kingdom of Five in honor of his five supporting families. These loyal subjects began the basis of the caste system in the Kingdom with three families falling into the lower classes eventually breeding to the point where they outnumbered the two more fortunate families and were regulated to hard labor. The other two began to form the early traders and educational masters of the realm, they would help run the kingdom and provide essential duties to it such as leading construction efforts, fighting off banditry and helping their King expand his mind and control. It has been many years since the formation of the Five, its exact date lost due to the relative stupidity of the serfdom and the constant changing of those who have knowledge. The current king is nearing the ending of his rule, his prince showing remarkable amounts of IQ is working diligently to prepare for his time to rule. Nation Culture: Far-west Aros (english??) Human Or Humagi (Describe Humagi): Human Nation Government System: Feudal Economy: 8 (60,000 Starting Gold, 11,000 Gold per turn) Education: 3, the population of the Five is relatively uneducated due to the sheer greediness of the king most of the funding is placed into his coffers purely for fun. Size (include rough area on map): 8, 4,500,000 Population... poor bastards. (13,500 Gold per turn.) Military: 1 , 2,500 Regular soldiers all poorly educated and quite dirty. Mysticism: 1, the people only adore the king with him being thought of as a god, though a small cult has begun in the capital worshipping the fallen one. Key Figure 1: King Leotard Swine Key Figure 2: Prince Dakkar Swine Key Figure 3: Duke Feobold Lokkar Unique Unit: Knights of Five, incredibly heavy cavalry unit capable of smashing formations easily in their wake. Their issues really stem from the weight of their armor, it makes them impervious but almost act as elephants with almost zero ability to turn on charge. Hidden Fruit: Lichi

Commonwealth of Redskap Liam took a bite of his Knäckebröd as he watched the news in his office, refugees could be seen stepping off their shuttles and being greeted by hundreds of Redskap citizens and soldiers bringing them through processing at efficient speed and giving them clean clothes and an overabundance of food thanks to his previous campaign for agriculture funding. Spinning his chair around to look out his high rise window at the city below, teeming with life as usual he thought. “Prime minister!” a squeaking voice erupted behind Liam as he jumped in his chair rolling around to see Hugs, his department of defense minister. “I’ll cut to the chase since our affairs minister isn’t here, you’ve been invited to speak with the revived Archivar.” Liam was immediately taken aback cocking his head at the large man before him. “What the hell do you mean?” The comment made Hugs shrug before he pulled out a datapad with information on it. “You have about five days before it starts so I suggest your quick about getting packed up, the cabinet can hold the fort down while your gone.” The prime minister stood stretching his legs and fixing the yellow tie on his suit. “Set about preparing the shuttle, I expect I will be gone for quite a while. I will leave instructions with the rest of the cabinet, I want it followed to the letter considering our situation Hugs.” Hugs nodded before grimacing, “Might I add our Elysian allies are now held up completely cut off-”. Liam cut the twink off, “I know quite well, I’ve included it in our list as for the Korosi I want them questioned though I doubt any of them know. Make sure we keep tabs on these people, it is imperative.” At that the conversation ended as Hugs simply nodded taking back the data pad the Liam offered watching the PM leave the room with haste. The twink walked directly out the office into the vast hallway crowded with people rushing left and right coupled by guards quickly shifting the Korosi to speak with them. Chaos was gripping the nation given the concern of a southern invasion, something did that did not sit well with Hugs personally. Turning to his right he walked down the many corridors and halls of the Skyscraper before he made it to the elevators going directly down to the hangars. The door opened and immediately the myriad of sounds filled the elevator as Hugs stepped into the vast space before him. Vessels of all shapes and sizes inhabited the bay, the presidential shuttle being prepped as Hugs came into view of it. Hundreds of men running about as they loaded in a new xylorite reactor and shield, the guards nearby conversing. A few men could be seen walking up the ship which Liam must have been apart of. “Hey! Mr. Johansson!” he called out to Liam who must have not heard him. Picking up his pace he rushed faster to speak with his prime minister one last time, he had forgotten to tell him one more thing. Liam spun around as Hugs shouted once more, his expression obviously irritated that the man caught up, “What is it?” he barked. “Karl, Karl is on his way back…” Hugs exasperatedly told his Prime minister, “Our quantum’s labs are completely set up, should I set him to work?” An inaudible sigh came from Liam as a transport buzzed by the hangar. “Tell him to get to work immediately, we didn’t conscript him for nothing.” AP Expenditure: 207 + 1,170 from the Council = 1,377 AP (75 AP) Processing and bringing in 750,000 human refugees, the people of the commonwealth are encouraged to treat them with the highest hospitality. Translators are placed to help ease the pain of culture shock and shortly after the refugees are granted a colony on the southern border safe away from the hellish north. (32 AP) Using Britannia shipyards, the commonwealth orders 9 colony ships and sets them out to new worlds filled to the brim with their people. A small birth of new worlds while many decay under the fires of war. (46 AP) Paying for the Britannia shipyards. (25 AP) 128,750 Medium Infantry equipment, 38,750 Shielded Heavy infantry equipment and 3,218 vehicles are ordered from the Human Republic. (49 AP) Constructing massive amounts of clone vats in secret at the core of the republic, select few are told and money is prepared to be sent out the coming year. ==Investments== (320 AP) Agriculture, food for the masses and the like. [Actually 640 AP] (425 AP) Business, Business. ==Research== (125 + 275 AP) Research begins specifically on improving the Kinetics weaponry of all council nations to the highest standard. [T6 Ship Kinetics.] (220 + 280 AP) Regular infantry armor had been steadily upgrading until now where the largest investment and research was placed on it in preparation for the approaching hell. The Kedja MKIV is designed this year.

Manifest Destiny Chapter I 2038 ===Nation Post=== Federated States of Ellada - Greek miners bring up Titanium from the shafts of hell, they eagerly announce there is much more. Combat along the entire Greek front begins anew this year alongside a coastal invasion from the Egyptians. Republic of China - Two missile installations installed strategically throughout china raises concerns with the people whom long for peace at the moment. It soons become evident that controversy surrounds the situation but nothing more than that. Nothing is found this year, could it be due to lack of funding or lack of resources... DPRK - South Korea accepts to talk about ending the Armistice and signing an open peace treaty, a historical event for the Korean people. The orbital shipyard is completed leading the North Koreans to become the second nation to do so. Their shipyard suddenly comes near orbits with an Anterior one where multiple warships can be seen being built in its hinges. Empire of Japan - Reports flood into the Japanese government that a mining company discovered Titanium in its most northern province. All trade deals are accepted with shipments going unharnessed through the pacific. The Pan-Pacific states itself sends out its third carrier fleet, the size left disclosed but radar reports can see it on patrol by the Philippines. Their position is amicable if anything it’s in preparation for a progressively worsening relation with the Latin’s. The fission battery, something entirely unwieldy and dangerous to be around but perfect to generate the necessary power for the upcoming robots. Given time this technology would be completed but as for 2038, it’s still on the drawing board. Militarizing the police has led to great concern with the people at first then solace and security as the already limited crime subsided to a standstill. It is now commonplace to see officers on patrol around the streets of the many cityscapes armed to the teeth donning Kevlar. Many people have moved on from World War Two, if anything China is the one that needs to atone for its sins committed. The Japanese name is all but cleared at this point and thankfully many nations eagerly wish them well. Polish Republic - Slavic endurance continues but suddenly takes a turn for the worse… The Polish rearmament does not go unnoticed as Belarus and Lithuania seem to have massive recruitment drives surge across their nations. Italy - Resources seem to be evading your researchers, could it be that they’re probing without funding? Kinetic Gel research goes so well that scientist are eager for it to be finished next year, reports shows soldier’s resilience improving by almost 25% against conventional ballistics. An impressive increase for such a new technology. Mexico- The Mexicans soon find naturally occurring graphene surprisingly near the war-zone they recently had with the Cartel. On that note the people are exceptionally happy and the money taken off the streets leads to a boon of legal cash. (5+ AP For this turn.) Orbital construction starts well with many Mexicans talking about this to rid their minds of the Cartel war. The Bohemian State- Mountainous terrain leads people to send in samples of Thorium having recently been found in the wilds by explorers. Research continues in the nation unhindered, things just did not seem to happen in Bohemia. German Republic- Titanium is openly exploited thanks to the German aptitude, it has been found in its north. USSR- Unsurprisingly with such a large amount of land, Thorium is discovered in the vast landscape. As for space,the shipyard construction goes well if not fantastic with expectations for it being finished by the end of the year. The offer to join is indefinitely declined by Ukraine and Belarus both still harboring cold feelings towards the east for past transgressions. Canada - All trade offers are accepted bringing Canada great prosperity! The investigations all lead to nothing but speculation, the people stopped disappearing and even then those that remain have a sort of shell-shock. *IMPORTANT OOC NOTE: INCLUDE YOUR RESEARCH IN YOUR POST.* ===Events=== Continued warfare between the Latin Confederacy and Brazil with no change, the fighting seems to be reaching a slow stalemate as Latin aircraft are being engaged by previously unheard of fighter craft. They seem to be the familiar Pan-Pacific ones leading to a diplomatic fallout between these two superpowers. The ODI launches its first defense platform into orbit, its payload filled with missiles specifically made to detonate on asteroids to break them apart to ease their descent and enable our atmosphere a chance to burn them up. Oddly enough, the African front goes dark with its borders all the sudden being shut off from the world. The country seems to have almost gone completely silent and its military seemingly buzzing at an exponential rate.

Manifest Destiny Chapter I 2037 ===Nation Post=== United States - Research into Fusion reactor proceeds without interference, excitedly military officials claim that it is vital for future military projects and clamor for its continued funding come 2037. Wallace’s inauguration does not go unnoticed with many nations around the world wishing the nation’s leader term well. A resurgent American military command eagerly puts its new submarine and aircraft to use, new equipment was desperately needed and many of the people seem to think so too with no protest to the funding regarding military production. It also would seem they discovered a deposit of homeland Uranium. Federated States of Ellada - Greek radar picks up a large force of Egyptian bombers approaching from its south, they’re escorted by a sizable air fleet. Turkey itself launches an offensive on the border with men of unknown number quickly pushing the border guard, it’s small navy attempts to take control of the surrounding sea line. Luckily, Greek war production cranks out all assigned materials this year, they set about quickly fortifying the factories in the event bombers and or artillery make it through. The research into laser weaponry on the other hand goes better than expected with newfound batteries being able to hold significant energy charges alongside the ability to intensify beams themselves. Republic of China - The once so glorious China finally had the means to rebuild and as such it does, Beijing’s reconstruction efforts leads to groundbreaking experiments with removal of radiation. Rubble is searched and ground zero is quarantined off as the crater is simply too large to deal with an entire city left to scrub. Apologies are accepted by many but the Pan-Pacific state ignores it, they do however suggest they go about clearing the radiation from the isles left in nuclear wake. The next-gen fighter is just as hard to research as the last, stealth is no longer the new prerogative as longevity and agility now take its place. Air-frame work is capitalized as civilian contractors have made significant breakthrough with new fission reactors allowing never before seen jet speeds. China’s mining corporations discover Titanium in its western mountains. DPRK - Such a significant project undertaken by a nation so inept with rocketry but thankfully they managed to make it to orbit with the first miniscule shipyard being created and shortly accompanied by its sister military station a couple kilometers away. Titanium research was quite hard to begin with until a simple farmer discovered a deposit to the north of Pyongyang. Ample supply lead scientist to hope that testing the proper combinations of materials will lead to Titanium armor being used in the coming years. The people welcome the nation’s beginning steps to modernization with many enjoying proper diets and steady jobs, many eagerly watch the space programs growing fame hoping it will bring a good reputation for change. Empire of Japan - Unprecedented militarization had not gone unnoticed by the Pan-Pacific states whom quickly seem to be constructing their own navy and army to contend with a possible aggressive enemy in the future. Come the end of the year all production quotas are met. Research into robotics while expected hits some roadblocks with current day fission power but it should be of no issue given more time looking at alternatives. Polish Republic - Slavic Endurance starts off extremely rocky, only few men made it through and even more so are actively being searched for at the start of 2037. If these men are found, war could very well start off in Europe. The new tank prototypes are something to be desired with more models coming out as newer plans are looked at from various companies, with luck they’ll have their models within five years. Shortly at the end of the year, a titanium ore deposit was found in the Polish wildlands, surely armor enthusiast are pleased. Republic of Ireland - A growing Irish army is an odd site indeed but a welcome one by its people, many young men flocked looking for honest work in the harsh world while many supported their decision. News floods to the government as a sheep herder found a deposit of Thorium in its southern tip, something wildly unexpected but game changing nonetheless. Italy - Kinetic gel moves well with many investors looking to buy the technology once its completed, Kevlar of today is not looking well long term and the replacement is a bright alternative. Almost as if the Italian’s were ignoring it, the first naturally occurring Carbyne deposit is found in the Alps readily available to be picked apart. Mexico- The entirety of South America openly accepts trade with Mexico if space permits. Once a nation with a minimalist airforce, it’s engineers now seek to design the next generation fighter craft much like their friend across the pond. It moves along steadily with the beginnings of an airframe being done alongside newer designs in wings agility. The Bohemian State- Nothing much happens in Bohemia this year as research is really it’s only focus and at that minimal gains are met. German Republic- The beginning process of fusion goes well until the magnetic fields continue to present problems for keeping the plasma at nominal levels. Many concepts have been put forward and it's only a matter of time until the Republic scientist figure out proper fusion power. Industry is constructed in super-structured fashion as complexes of buildings are bought out and remodeled. Alongside this comes orders as the drones are all produced within the year bringing the air forces quota to a close. United Kingdom- As the british prepare to retake their islands, they receive word from the Argentinians that the Islands are under their direct control. Surprisingly aerial surveillance would show they discovered a deposit of Titanium on the island, they simply annexed it to excavate it and take it. Fusion research goes well this year though they suffer from the magnetic field issue as other scientist are left puzzled on how to solve it at least for the year. There is hope however and with continued funding a solution may be found. USSR- The Orbital stations beginnings go very well as supplies delivered via launchpad meet no faults nor do they explode at the pad. Many are hoping to see the first marvel built soon and quickly it becomes a talking point in the many towns and cities of the motherland. Refer to the events below regarding your AI trade deals. *IMPORTANT OOC NOTE: INCLUDE YOUR RESEARCH IN YOUR POST AND ALSO BE SURE TO CHECK THE GAME RULES FOR RESOURCE AP, SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE RESOURCES NOW THAT GRANT EXTRA AP.* ===Events=== The ISS and Hubble Telescope had gone untouched since 2021 as funding prevented any sort of usage. Now recently the Anterior coalition announced an undertaking to refurbish and reopen these two stations to scientist around the world out of their own pocket with a catch of course. All research taken aboard these stations is to be shared directly with them at them. Known as the Iceland incident, it left many concerned of future meteorite landings and as such the Pan-Pacific states and the Latin Confederacy found the Orbital Dome initiative with funding being placed specifically on ways to track and set up defenses against asteroids. Within the year research is already fast along on technology dedicated against it. War begins between the Latin Confederacy and Brazil with the first shots being fired on March 23rd, hundreds of men began clashing throughout the rain-forest. The skies were quickly wrestled from Brazil as the Latin Air force quickly swiped the meager Brazilian opponent in a matter of two weeks. Naval engagements left the sole Brazil missile cruiser sunk severely crippling its navy leaving its gunboat navy to fight off two frigates successfully sinking the ARC Caldas two miles from Natal. Overall the combat seems to be going well for the Latin’s but it can be expected for a counter-offensive to strike from the zealous Brazilians. The total casualties for the first year already amount to 23,560 civilian casualties and 9,000 military personnel combined, meager for the combined TNT output so far.

Manifest Destiny Chapter I: Tensions in disguise 2036 Years of unrest, economic destruction, and revolutionary prospects finally led to the most peaceful period in 17 years. People were beginning to look forward to the future once more as the prices of oil and food dropped from their outrageous prices thanks to the efforts of the Anterior coalition and the Pan-Pacific states. The swift recovery of America and removal of most their forces from foreign territory led to a power vacuum and eventually the most quiet period the middle east had seen in decades save for Iraq. As for the Mediterranean region, unprecedented recovery was happening now that the migrant crisis of 2010’s was finally subsiding as people began to settle down and rebuild. The African allied front’s efforts has led to the first reported overabundance of clean water throughout the nation and soon its shared throughout Africa, it’s a revolutionary year for the entire continent. The year 2036 begins peaceful and calm, for now. ===EVENTS=== The Yugo-Federation will accept all trade offers this year from its European brothers, it fully denies trade with the United African Front sparking some outcries from the larger tribes that inhabit it. It watches the Greek-Turk/Egypt war eagerly as hundreds of men are signing up in the event of escalation. News comes from the Latin Confederacy of multiple border incidents with its direct competitor, Brazil. The largest one of these left 37 dead as two villages from on the Peru-Brazil border went hot over deforestation in the region. The Anterior coalition brings yet another nation under its boot through ‘persuasion’. Iraq joins as its issues with Islamic terrorism and growing anarchy that had barely been avoided becomes too much to handle domestically. Swiftly over 50,000 infantry soldiers are deployed to assist the new member with Iraq becoming a border-line police state. A meteor makes it through the atmosphere but breaks up with one part landing in Greenland, the other in the center of the African Allied Front.

A Manifest Destiny January 3rd, 2036: The Earth had endured seventeen long years of hell as its superpowers fought over territory claims, subversion, and humanitarian crisis. As with all wars came loss, 750 million casualties due to a strategic nuking from both sides of the China-India war in 2023, a pointless conflict ending in a stalemate. Not long after the South China Sea conflict began with China coming for its claims on Taiwan until it ended with the entirety of Taiwan being wiped off the map due to an experimental nuke used by the Chinese. The European Union collapsed following the dissolution act due to the euro crash in the late 2021 after the mass succession of France and its entirety of eastern nations starting from Germany. The 2020 elections saw the largest change in recent times for the United States saw the Republican and Democratic parties completely collapse and lead to a civil war across the continent, warfare is commonplace among the north and south once again. Not everything was gloomy however and during this time period, technology developed substantially fast with the development of rail-guns and fusion power in the five major blocs helped end the global warming scare of the 21st century. Alongside these technological advances was the creation of new alliances on almost every continent, these power blocs becoming the world police due to their power with skirmishes happening daily between these newly minted alliances. The greatest event however is the disarming and removal of all nuclear devices in use by every nation in the known world and the formation of a the Taiwan treaty to prevent anymore usage, all nations signed save for North Korea whom is currently a shithole devoid of food. To delve into these new states is quite easy as cultures shifted and adapted to the changing landscape and prospects of nuclear annihilation thanks to China’s frequent usage of their small stockpile. Starting with the Latin American Confederacy , this collection of south american countries formed in the mid-year of 2020 making it the oldest of the five new power blocks as the fear of being crushed by a rapidly militarizing Brazil and Chile was to great. Second we have the Yugo-Federation, the smallest and most likely weakest of the five was formed in 2021 as a response to the collapse of the EU. Third is the most recent as the United African Front formed in 2033 in response to rising Islamic influence, rapid spread of an even stronger Ebola and a economic upheaval led to a rise in tribal warfare and eventually the formation of this nation under the boot of its current dictator. Then we have the Pan-Pacific States, a nation formed directly in response to Chinese aggression and rapid earthquakes followed by tsunamis which rocked the region with millions of deaths and economic crisis. A quick change and shared funding allowed them to recover albeit slowly with the effects of the tsunamis and earthquakes still being felt today. Last comes the Anterior coalition, this was the most unexpected formation as Iran threatened and fought its way into influencing these mid-Asian nations eventually coaxing them in. This leaves us off to you, the player, to choose the nation to play as now in 2036. The world is plunged into chaos and uncertainty with many years to come and go, will humanity rise from this perilous time or sink back to its dark age? ===== OOC: Starting off with the map, you can see the current power blocs located on the map, these are unplayable nations though they do coordinate and work just like you, there will be barely a world police to hold back player aggression. Everything other then the five power blocs is playable though severely diminished from their former powers that we know today. The majority of these nations militaries will be represented through the web-page, https://www.globalfirepower.com/ though much of it will be cut down to size significantly. We will be using discord. Population will be done taking modern population counts and multiplying them by about 0.25%, so America for example would 365,000,000 x 0.25 = 91,250,000+ 365,000,000 = 456,250,000 Americans. After you get this number your free to completely eviscerate your nation to the level you want it to be, it has no bearing on game-play. If you have any questions regarding your nation’s size, lore, and or military numbers please feel free to ask me. If you have any questions pertaining to the game rules, please message me and feel free to comment on any additions or balance changes. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vJz5dx1PgF8ypubDbbT3N2pQRKs6ZQDbX-NJUMV6D2A/edit?usp=sharing *EDIT: Due to my lack of foresight I forgot to include your initial starting AP, you begin with 6 AP at the start and through investments gradually grow.

Commonwealth of Redskap The freighter shook as it came out of warp far above the planet's surface near one of the many Ingsoc shipyards gracing the capital. It’s wharfs easily filled by the masses of Saryn destroyers being built, it was no wonder the military could afford its massive expenditure that year. Corporal Dale hated these flights, they always felt long and to be frank this wasn’t even the end of the line yet. Rolling his neck he looked around impatiently waiting for them to settle on the shipyard, the other men in his company seemed to be in the same position with some playing cards and others simply sleeping. Another thought pushed through, his ass was genuinely aching from sitting for the past ten hours. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/396527942173785453/ The intercom blared as the clicks of metal could be heard, last minute weapon checks and many men were looking over the tanks and supplies to see if they’re properly strapped. Dale stood and stretched before picking up his rifle and sliding it on with its strap. Another object whizzed by the large window at the door before they clicks of metal and a quick shake is felt throughout the ship, not long after the door begins to whiz with air as its unsealed. Revealed on the other side is nothing more than hundreds of other soldiers and war material spread about, a sight well known throughout the galaxy. “Dale, take the squad and have them unload our **** onto the staging area for the platoon. I’m due for a meeting with the LT in five.” He nodded and quickly turned to his fellow squadmates. “Alright let's get this done so we can explore, I’m sure everyone is just as eager to use their legs as I am.” Lifting his duffel bag over his shoulder and taking a crate of ammo in his other hand he stepped off with the rest of his men settling into their designated area. Looking around the room, Dale notes at the common disregard for the peril they’re about to be in. The very fresh defeat of their entire army at the cost of over 300,000 Ar’gakari soldiers was a worthy cause in their eyes. Reaching into his bag to check his magazines, the intercom blares and on comes the voice of their president, the time was near. --GENERAL EVENTS-- At the start of 2161, the arrival of a united military alliance and sharing of tech prompted the very much surprised scientist of the republic to archive the important tech. Shortly after it was decided that certain basic training programs would be picked apart and assigned to soldiers being sent off to specific fronts. During the mid-year the next phase of action for the nation is enacted, to prepare for a better future a radical plan passes through the senate for the increased funding of project generation. Alongside the research, the first facilities would be built to allow massive amounts of birth chambers on the capital world. To further allow the council’s entire navy field new ships, the Ingsoc shipyards are upgraded and expanded upon to house four massive stations fit to make ships in massive amounts. The first batch of ships belonging to the Saryns, the newest destroyer variant being churned out at peak efficiency. With a growing fear of insurgency from outside galactic powers, the formation of a FBI is started, hundreds of men are recruited and trained with the newly acquired programs and veterans are assigned to turn them into stone men.
